Making everyone happy is impossible. Pissing them off is a piece of cake. I like cake.

Five years of The Kitchen

Good evening, one and all...

Whilst busy, I could hardly let pass the fact that, as of today, it has been five years since your humble Devil took up residence in The Kitchen: five years, 5,377 posts, nearly 2.7 million visits (Statcounter), well over 600,000 absolute unique visitors (Google Analytics was only installed in October 2007)—and countless thousands of swearwords and imaginative insults—have graced these hallowed halls.

Ultimately though, what has all of this achieved? Have I taken any scalps, changed the world, formed a brotherhood of Man? Nope.

But I have had a fuck load of fun!

As always, thanks to all the contributors to The Kitchen (past and present), and to all of the readers and commenters who continue to entertain and, I hope, be entertained.

So here's to the next five years.

Unless, of course, by some cruel quirk of Fate—although I cannot think of an even vaguely plausible one—Gordon somehow manages to win another term in office, in which case the next five years is going to seem an awfully long time.

Being an optimist, your humble Devil is going to assume that the Conservatives get in—with a majority—and we can all look forward to feeding fresh meat cunts into the swearblogger's grinder...

Cheers!

P.S. partly for my own satisfaction, here is a collection of previous "happy birthday to me" posts.

I just wish you hadn't raised the possibility, remote though it must be, of the one-eyed moron of the Manse remaining in the big chair. The thought is so unbelievably depressing I might have to have a strong drink.

Well done sir! I live in a rural area I was overjoyed to find that I was not alone in my opinions of politicians - especially those wearing red ties. Top quality swearing too. Why cant the 646 indulge in a bit of -tell it like it is talk.
